Las Brisas - Original Composition Vibraphone Solo
By David Kovins
This is a brief solo version of Body and Soul which closed my two days of masterclasses in Urbino, Italy held at the Teatro Sanzio on October 10th and 11th, 2016. The masterclasses covered the vibraphone as well as jazz harmony and improvisation. Much thanks to all of the students and professionals who attended the masterclasses and night concert. It was a wonderful turnout with participants coming from all over Italy (including Calabria, Veneto, Abruzzo and Puglia) as well as Sardinia.
Here are our studies from our 8 weeks of ballads series.
This is our live Video,
recorded in 'Kunstfabrik Schlot'(Berlin). This weekend, we finally had our CD-Release Concert at 'Á Compas', which is a flamenco-dance studio in Berlin. We had a great concert with fantastic guests and got a lot of interest for our new CD 'Some other Dances', which is also available on itunes or amazon. Check it out!
Greetings from Berlin!

Hey All,
Tonight is Good Vibes night (Oct 2nd)! If you're in the northeast, it's a good night to hang out and listen, weather turning colder, dark coming on earlier. If you're not, listen in anyway! Rebroadcast is, as always, on Wednesday afternoon.
Bass: Christian Hirschmann

“Blue in Green” by Miles Davis / Bill Evans
This is a mobile phone video recording of a spontaneous jam session with my friend in our physics lab.
Hey guys,
My vibraphone trio, The Wee Trio, just released our fifth CD today. We expanded the trio for trumpet, guitar, and piano. It features Nicholas Payton, Nir Felder, and Fabian Almazan. Here's an EPK/Promo video of the record.
Had a little time today between classes and ran through Chick's composition "Desert Air". Chick and Gary recorded a brilliant version on their debut recording "Crystal Silence", one of my favorite recordings. I remember seeing Gary play this solo during the 70s at a club in Boston called The Jazz Workshop. It was spectacular. This is a great but tough tune with odd bar phrasing and unusual chord progressions and modulations.
